East St. Louis Whipping Post by Kevin Brunkhorst. For jazz ensemble. Rock. Level 5. Score and set of parts. Published by UNC Jazz Press (NC.2195).
This chart takes elements from Duke Ellington's East St. Louis Toodle-Oo and the Allman Brothers' Whipping Post and creates the written-out effect of the modern "mash-up". There are direct metric juxtapositions (not modulations), but the overall pulse remains consistent. Consistent with Southern Rock style, there are two open sections in which two guitars solo simultaneously; rhythm sections are encouraged to change their approaches to each section. There are extremes of range in most parts--the lead guitar part goes to double high D at the 22nd fret. This chart is difficult but is a proven crowd dazzler.

The Wonderful Rockmachine by Michel van Delft. For Fanfare Band. Rock / Original Works Light Music Repertoire. Original Pieces. Grade 2. Score. Published by Molenaar Edition (ML.021411060-S).
Michel van Delft has published quite less than his alter egos Ted Huggens and Henk van Lijnschooten. His compositions are meant for and adapted to youth bands and this is also the case with "The Wonderful Rockmachine." It is a gentle swinging rock tune, with some small and easy drum solos.

(8 Brass) After an explosive introduction by the entire ensemble, this half-time rock shuffle settles into a funky groove everyone can enjoy.

I'd Rather Be Eating Ice Cream by Bill 'Orange' Lyons. For jazz choir (SATB choir, a cappella). Rock. Level 3. Set of 16 octavos. Published by UNC Jazz Press (NC.VJ738).
(Level III) The humorous treatment of this up-tempo, rock, a cappella original will be a delight not only for its listeners but for the performers as well. In the style of the Bobs, there is space for a screaming air guitar solo followed by a lyrically non-sensical, repeating interlude to talk about anything instead of love. The top three voices provide the melody and upper structures, while the bottom voices define the tonality and keep the beat mostly in open fifths. If you can't have fun with this one, you should consult a physician! SATB.
